My big problem with this whole idea is that it absolutely kills the fight scene. The big battle just screeches to a halt for a lengthy hallucination dream dialog where Kylo mid-combat is suddenly talked out of being evil with the same converaation that failed to work on him last time, and then just as suddenly unpauses again for more violence. It doesn’t flow well at all as a scene (scenes?), and imo make Kylo’s turn less believable because of how sudden it is in the middle of an unrelated event (in the original he has a near-death experience, and his mother’s death, and a last pleading by Rey, before then having some time to think about his life and make the decision). And all we gain from this change is to turn his memory of Han and inner-turmoil into a mind trick by Leia.

The idea is certainly intriguing, but I just don’t buy it when watching it, where as the original theatrical was a more powerful moment for me (as least, given the circumstances with zombie Carrie Fisher).
